Totally beautiful !! Great workmanship.
Top chop dimensions should be strictly to ones tastes. There is no wrong way.
HOWEVER, I hold the title of the ugliest model top chop, ever. I just can't show it in this forum.
That color on your Merc is enough to make one drool.

Nice lowering, and the use of the bigger Caddy bullets work well too. Caps & color, yada, yada... You da man!

This is a good spot to drop a quick note or ask for help. If you are in a bad mood, this isn't the right spot to drop feelings. Thanks for understanding!

rickcaps55: Thanks Ed i have had this one for a long time got it as a kit that was stared but never got to it i have to say it was on the shelf for the last 15 years i guess it's time to get it going.!!! Jan 22, 2024 14:53:00 GMT -5
